Also with exclusive interviews, and new technology, you’ll also find helpful information in this issue on

• the legal ramifications of South Dakota’s new data breach reporting law

• initiatives aimed at improving communication between radiologists and other specialists

• advice for de-escalating workplace violence and

• presenting like a pro.
